Bastille pay homage to Thelma and Louise on new track
The second track from Bastille's forthcoming album sees Dan Smith collaborating with the legendary songwriter - and co-writer of Britney's "Hit Me Baby One More Time" - Rami Yacoub.
"Thelma + Louise" hints at a new sonic direction for the four piece but still retains Smith's characteristic references to pop culture. The band have also dropped the sci-fi-inspired new track "Give Me The Future", with nods to Blade Runner and beyond.
Over the last month, Bastille have performed their first live shows in 18 months with headline slots at Standon Calling and Latitude. They also performed at the Olympics’ Homecoming Event this week after playing two sold-out "Reorchestarted" shows as part of the Hampton Court festival in London.
